coins added most days as I use cash. Sometimes I wonder where my money has gone but as I put the change in my sealed tin & money that I don't spend on mags in my money box, I suddenly realise how much I used to just fritter away!

Hi Sarah.
I saw your post and jumped ahead to answer it (only up to page 9, phew) so sorry if someone has already said this. My Mum had one of those bottles years ago and my Grandad sanded the inside of the opening down for her so it would take 2ps and under. It probably took a while but it worked. Just a thought if you would like to keep all your coins together.
Good luck to everyone saving - you have inspired me to perhaps use one of the 3 (!) terramundi I have - scared to use them because they are so pretty.
